I’m not really a fan of re-reading books, neither rewatching series or movies, cause I feel like If I rewatch or reread, the same emotions I felt the 1st time I read/ watch it will never be the same. But Back in college, I met my friends now (whom all likes to rewatch/reread stuffs)…

So my question is, how’d you manage to push yourself rereadind a book or rewatching a series? And why is your reason for rereading/rewatching? Just curious.

    I discovered many authors I still like when I was a kid - Conan Doyle, Wells, Verne, Asimov, others.

    Now I’m 44 and revisiting some of them, because I don’t remember so well what I read more than 30 years ago. It’s a pleasure aking to that of visiting the house where you spent your childhood’s summers, or meeting an old, dear friend. It’s not the same for every author, of course: I love Bradbury but I don’t think I’ve ever read something of his twice, can’t explain why… maybe it’s just that, being his work so emotional, I want to keep in my heart what I felt the first time and not change it with new insights.

    Furthermore, I’ve re-read everything by Terry Pratchett 4 times in my life and a fifth is incoming, because his books are so intelligent, funny, profound and have so many layers that every time I re-read them I find something new I didn’t know or remember.
